So I will start with telling you how awesome vacation was! I definitely needed the week away from home. We had a pretty amazing week down the shore, only one rainy day. I have to say it was tough not being able to do the rides but worth missing out for Reese. We went to the water park one day and I did not do any of the crazy slides (or so I thought). I was just a nervous wreck the whole time. I did three water slides, and the tube slides were awesome.... but the body slide was a big mistake! It scared the crap out of me. One of the fast turns shifted my uterus over and I swore in my head that it hurt Reese. But I was wrong she is perfectly fine (we checked with the doppler later that day). Other than that we stayed pretty low key.. did bingo one night, and walked the boards on other nights. Our rainy day consisted of indoor glow golf :)!
With vacation came a new pregnancy symptom.... ankle swelling! I can press my ankle and it will leave a mark for 15 minutes! Yeah pretty bad.... and believe it or not keeping hydrated does not help. The ONLY thing that has helped is elevation.
Today I had my Anatomy Scan, it was so awesome to see how big Reesie Cup got! She is measuring right on track, 1 pound 2 ounces. She is such a little mover.... the poor ultrasound tech could barely get her job done! She is a strong little babe, her kicks are getting harder and harder and I love it! Everything looked great with her today, which was music to my ears. Tomorrow I see the pernatalogist and my Midwife. The pernatalogist will hopefully be helpful with the management of my AFIB, because this new beta blocker is not working :(! Thankfully I see my midwife after so I can update her... and see how much weight I've gained because I feel like a house!

Today the cardiac monitor came in the mail. I will need to where this for one week, 24/7 except when I shower. It's not very comfortable.... and very temperamental. I can hit a button when I feel symptoms, which is good. Hopefully this will help my cardiologist figure out a better plan for me. I am pretty certain I am not consistently in AFIB.. but this will tell for sure.
